I like this a lot, but most of the time I use Charles for more than recording traffic. For example, checking how my apps behaves if I throttle certain endpoints, or rewrite responses. Hoping those features makes it into a future version!

Totally agree on the unstructured content in the forums. I would suggest they open up the wikis more for editing by MOOC-students, and work to keep that up-to-date. Wading through forums for those nuggets of information to fix your problems is time consuming and boring.

Pro-tip: Press CMD+F (or CTRL+F) a second time to "override" the shortcut for search.

Yeah, that showed up for me. It was more about how to use the setup scripts, they had changed a bit it seemed.

I thought if the resources around the course evolve over time, then the material should as well. It would be easier to keep a wiki up-to-date and refer to that, instead of a video (and site). For setup and "sidenotes" specifically, I'm not saying the lessons should be re-created in the wikis.

Although the homework and lesson notes in the wikis was indispensable.

I'm doing part 1 at the moment, and the outdated AWS setup instructions on the site frustrated me a bit as well.

Maybe an idea would be to leverage the community a bit more? Make it easier to edit the wiki for MOOC-students which are the ones watching/reading the material later on. And maybe refer to that wiki more on the site.

I end up using the forums a lot for trying to find info on stuff that is not working, or I don't understand. But it's not an easy platform to find information since it isn't structured well.
